Easter weekend and Madelyn's update

We had a wonderful Easter weekend. Our neighborhood had an egg hunt in the park on Saturday morning. Joseph had the best time finding eggs and Madelyn enjoyed sleeping in the stroller! We went to church on Sunday and both our little ones were very well behaved! Here's our Easter family pic right before church. Madelyn's beautiful Easter dress!

First smile caught by the camera.....

We went to my parents house after church and this was taken on their back dock.

Joseph and Daddy having fun coloring eggs!

The Easter bunny didn't know that Madelyn would arrive before Easter, so he had to quickly put together a basket for her!

Joseph was thrilled with his Easter surprises!

Getting ready to find the eggs...

He found one!

Cool dude!

Joseph loves his baby sister so much!

Mommy was having fun by playing dress up!

Madelyn's bilirubin levels are finally going down!!!!! We took her this past Tuesday to get her blood tested and her level had dropped from 16.1 (this is what her level was last Friday) to 15.6 on Tuesday. We have to take her one more time next week to get her poor little foot poked and blood tested again, and as long as her levels continue to go down, we won't have to get her blood tested anymore. We hope and pray her levels will continue to decline so she will be a healthy little girl.

Joseph continues to adore his little sister and it just melts my heart to see him act so gentle and kind towards her. I'm sure this will all change and he'll be trying to beat her up in the near future, but for now, it's just so sweet!

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
